( i’m not saying these are the chords she actually plays , but these are the chords
i use to play along with her . )
sweet bride
kate rusby
C F Am G
a lady was walking on a midsummer’s day
C F Am G
the birds they were whistling so merrily and gay
C F Am G
when along came a white steed in the finest array
C F Am C
and it carried a young man these words he did say
chorus :
G C
come live by the great moon
G F
that rules the strong tide
Am G
climb up on my horse , love
D C
and be my sweet bride
i bid you good morning , this young man did say
and where might you be going on such a nice day
i’m walking to view , sir , the bonny blue sea
for it’s all i have left now that means much to me
chorus
if that’s all you love now , come riding with me
you’ll live in my castle deep under the sea
you’ll sleep in my gold bed , my fine silken sheets
and have gifts of great beauty from all that you meet
chorus
( musical bridge )
she’s up in the saddle and away they did ride
the horse skipped and danced over waves on the tide
now she’s only remembered by this story i tell
from an old man on horseback who once knew her well
chorus x2
